Ethic group member Swat has had a rough night.
The young member who goes by the stage name Swat aka “Mtoto wa Eunice” seemingly had an eventful evening after video surfaced on Twitter of the young man answering to a mob.
Though it is not clear what Swat was doing out in the late hours of the night, he was allegedly accused of stealing from a home. In the video, he is seen clutching his stomach after supposedly receiving a beating. A few voices in the crowd question the “Lamba Lolo” crooner over what he stole, while an unidentified woman asks that his parents are called to the scene.

Efforts to speak to their former manager Teleh Mani were foiled, as he declined to pick up phone calls to comment on the situation. Teleh Mani managed the group, but recently left due to internal differences with the “New Position.”
Speaking about their bitter fallout with Ethic in August 2018, Teleh Mani told press outlet PulseLive, “A lot of industry guys told me to stay away from and it was gonna be rough. Nothing prepared me for the fuckery today. I was wrong and I shoulda listened. First of all, these guys weren’t a group. They just got together for that one song. So I suggested they try out the group thing for a year and if it doesn’t work, they can figure their shit out. They said cool. So basically, I hit these guys up when ‘Lamba Lolo’ had a ka small buzz. Before 100k views around June. At the time all I wanted was to pay for a new ‘polished’ video. However, I realized that one of the reasons the video even trended was because of how raw and real it was…We hustle and get these guys gigs including my own of course while still trying to figure out the brand. We realize one of the boys has been booking his own shows where he goes solo with his close pals for 2k-4K Ma bucla. the group is unhappy esp since he’s the popular one.”
